Summary
Orihime died once.
She died beside her father — betrayed within the very manor that bore their name. Her stepmother’s jealousy had long festered beneath silk smiles, and her stepsister’s envy sharpened itself into something lethal. In the end, it was not politics nor war that claimed her life, but the quiet cruelty of blood turned venomous.
But death did not keep her.
Awakened years before that night of betrayal, granted a second life by a god whose intentions remain veiled, Orihime remembers everything.
This time, she will make them pay.
Yet fate refuses to follow the path she once walked.
The Crowned Prince of the North — a man who never once looked her way in her past life — chooses her as his bride. She is summoned to a palace she had never entered before her death. Welcomed by an Empress who does not age. Surrounded by nobles who whisper that she is unworthy. Protected by a prince whose motives remain unreadable.
Her second life was meant for vengeance. So why does destiny continue to place her upon a throne she never sought?
And if the gods truly returned her to this world — Was it to avenge the dead…Or to change the course of an empire?
